Senior intelligence officer says President personally gave NSA permission

NEW YORK - President Bush has personally authorized a secretive eavesdropping program in the United States more than three dozen times since October 2001, a senior intelligence official said Friday night.

The disclosure follows angry demands by lawmakers earlier in the day for a congressional inquiry into whether the monitoring by the highly secretive National Security Agency violated civil liberties.

“There is no doubt that this is inappropriate,” declared Republican Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He promised hearings early next year.

The Bushbots would offer their own lives to save his. Every society endures this ilk.

3. NSA employees should be prosecuted.

They know the law. They broke it.
Let's start at the bottom. Find those who broke the law, and find those who were violated. Then the task of crowning King George might be a lot easier.
